These packages are also my every-day life.
Just curious: Do they have any advantage still over zypper in openSUSE 11.0? Or is it just "I have always used yum" ;)
Several things: - especially with 11.0, zypper has to be restarted several times during updates because it somehow has sometimes problems to download packages claiming that the repos are outdated. With yum, normally these transaction happen without problem
yes, we have GSoC project to improve there.
- when I create a minimum systems, zypper has the tendency to pull some dependencies that are in Recomends section whereas yum does not do it, so I use yum as a tool to update the OpenOffice.org builder VM that we distribute and that is based on 11.0
use 'zypper up --no-recommends'
- yum makes one rpm transaction and when upgrading a system, I don't have to be online all the time during the upgrade, I can pull the packages and go offline.
known issue. Thanks a lot for feedback! Stano
Having said that, as I cannot commit to maintaining them, just pleading my cause.
Cheers
Fridrich
P.S.: It is OTOH true that zypper is really fast in dependency resolution and I love it and use too on my normal systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
